Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Denis Richards
The White Gates,
Dorking, Surrey.
Dear Mr. Richards,
Thank you very much for your cheque and for your kind and appreciative letter.1
As regards recording. I fear we are the only town left which has D.C.,2 so I fear that is impossible. Instead I am sending you the draft of my lecture for you to print, if you feel so inclined.
Yours sincerely,
R Vaughan Williams
(R. Vaughan Williams).
Denis Richards, Esq., M.A.,
Morley College,
